hoxton casual Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 to think we only got about 7k in 1995/96. The red few! interesting how their has been such an incremental rise against performance this season but a lot of people were pretty upset. If we could actually challenge for promotion next season could we average 22k or more? is there that much demand for success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Exciting times . The best thing for me is the huge numbers of older teenagers there week after week now . They're the fans of the future and the ones who will create atmosphere at games . Considering our form for much of the year our crowds have been a incredible and this has to be down to the quality of the match day experience now in the "new" stadium .

Plus the other 3 thousand they forgot to put on. It used to be a standing joke when the attendance was read out. I was a mascot in 83 and the attendance wasn't great that day, not surprising as we were bottom of division 4 but I look on at those dark days with great memories.

If you watch the highlights video of that time that was recently posted, it brings back bad memories. A sparsely populated Dolman and Williams and a handful of Bury fans in the eastend. Considering football was on the up, it wasnt good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering football was on the up, it wasnt good I quite enjoyed it, Tc's free transfers and young kids did a great job. One of greatest memories was when we beat the Gas 2-1 at Eastville. You had a feeling that from then on we were back from the doldrums and we're to compete again. Of which of course we did. Who would of thought back then that we now haven't had a local league derby for nearly 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room for fifty or so of us to do a conga round the away end at Saltergate on a cold wet Tuesday night. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elruliri Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I used to sit near him with my grandad who unfortunately died last year. It was quite a weird experience for a 10 year old. He would suddenly go into song and would make you jump, lovely bloke though and mad as a box of frogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be given a wide berth if you saw him outside an away ground though. A few times we`d be trying to sneak around to the away end sans colours and he`d spot you and shout out `hello lads, we going to win today?` or something. Got good kickings at Burnley, Lincoln and Grimsby as a result! Course, TH never got touched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
